Boris Kadomtsev
Boris Borisovich Kadomtsev (; 9 November 1928 – 19 August 1998) was a Soviet and Russian plasma physicist who worked on controlled fusion problems (e.g. tokamaks). He developed a theory of transport phenomena in turbulent plasmas and a theory of the so-called anomalous behavior of plasmas in magnetic fields. In 1966, he discovered plasma instability with trapped particles. In 1970, Kadomtsev and Vladimir Petviashvili introduced into plasma physics the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation (KP equation), a nonlinear partial differential equation with applications in theoretical physics and complex analysis. The exact solution to the KP equation was later found by Vladimir Zakharov and , which helped solve the Schottky problem. Early life and career Kadomtsev graduated from Moscow State University in 1951. He then worked at the Institute for Physics and Energy in Obninsk. Starting in 1956, he worked at the Institute for Atomic Energy. From 1976 to 1998, he was the chief editor o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Order Of The Red Banner Of Labour
The Order of the Red Banner of Labour () was an order of the Soviet Union established to honour great deeds and services to the Soviet state and society in the fields of production, science, culture, literature, the arts, education, sports, health, social and other spheres of labour activities. It is the labour counterpart of the military Order of the Red Banner. A few institutions and factories, being the pride of Soviet Union, also received the order. The Order of the Red Banner of Labour was the third-highest civil award in the Soviet Union, after the Order of Lenin and the Order of the October Revolution. The Order of the Red Banner of Labour began solely as an award of the Russian SFSR on December 28, 1920. The all-Union equivalent was established by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet on September 7, 1928, and approved by another decree on September 15, 1928. The Order's statute and regulations were modified by multiple successive decrees of the Presidium of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
